Me! A disgraced celebrity! Starting by seeking justice for impoverished students.

None of them came...

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhenhai fell silent.

An inappropriate conjecture formed in his mind.

However, Zhou Zhenhai immediately suppressed this idea as soon as it came to mind.

Gao Jianming, who was standing nearby, also heard this and chuckled.

"Do you understand? Even if you arrest me, there are plenty of other people who can do my job!"

"Am I guilty? I was just after the money."

"I don't need to elaborate on what they're after, do I?"

Zhou Zhenhai, who was furious just moments before, is now silent.

Judging from Gao Jianming's reaction, he roughly understood what was going on.

The truth of the matter was not as simple as I had imagined.

Seeing Zhou Zhenhai remain silent, Gao Jianming sneered.

By this point, his life sentence was a foregone conclusion.

Perhaps his emotions hit rock bottom and rebounded, making him feel justified.

Their gaze then turned to Jiang Chen.

"Attorney Jiang, you are righteous, you are noble!"

"Then let me ask you, even if you arrest me, will the people responsible for my line of work simply disappear?"

"Are you sure that if this nursing home doesn't exist, there won't be other nursing homes? Huh?"

"Hahahaha..."

Gao Jianming wanted to say more, but was reprimanded and escorted away by the bailiffs beside him.

"Loud noise is prohibited inside the courtroom."

"Let's get going!"

He was escorted away from the courtroom by bailiffs, but before leaving, he still gave Jiang Chen and the others a mocking look.

A single glance seemed to say it all.

Zhou Zhenhai turned around and glanced at Jiang Chen.

But Jiang Chen also remained silent and did not speak.

Noticing Zhou Zhenhai's gaze, Jiang Chen looked over expressionlessly.

"Mr. Zhou, this matter... is none of my business, nor do I need to get involved."

"There are still some things about human nature that are impossible to face directly..."

This conversation was also broadcast live online.

Some netizens who followed the incident closely are now only now realizing what's happening.

Some netizens had already noticed something amiss and left their opinions in the comments section.

[I had this suspicion before: the deaths of those elderly people were orchestrated by their families and the nursing homes!]

That's right! Those prepaid fees are actually hush money paid by the families to the nursing home!

[Tsk tsk tsk! It's chilling to think about. Would anyone in the world really do something like this?!]

This is so dark! The people who most want the elderly to die aren't the nursing home staff, but their own family members!

I thought this kind of scene only happened in movies, but I didn't expect it to happen in real life!

[What's the point of this? They have money but don't let the elderly enjoy their later years in peace; instead, they're rushing them to their deaths!]

[It can only be said... this is the hardest part of human nature to face directly; not everyone can maintain even the most basic moral standards.]

Zhou Zhenhai remained silent as he watched Gao Jianming being escorted away.

He opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't say a word at all.

Therefore, it seems that the perpetrators of the previous murders of elderly people were not solely from nursing homes.

And what about the relatives of those elderly people!

Therefore, the relatives of these elderly people did not pursue the matter afterward, and were even willing to give the nursing home the prepaid care fees!

This is clearly a pre-paid fee for murder!

It is never these executioners who drive this black industry chain.

It's not the elderly people who need this service, but their family members!

Upon learning the truth, Zhou Zhenhai's expression was somewhat complicated.

after all……

He accidentally brought his father to this place.

From a certain perspective, it was just bad luck.

This black market industry has always existed; it's just that I didn't know what I was doing and sent my father there.

Moreover... just as Gao Jianming said.

Even without his nursing home, new nursing homes would have taken up this shady business.

There aren't that many bad people in the world.

Rather, it is the demand that gives rise to corresponding industries.

These things are actually tacitly understood by both parties.

It was a transaction that wasn't made public.

He was just someone who stumbled into this deal by mistake.

In the past, after a court trial ended, the people in the dock would quickly disperse.

But they also heard Gao Jianming's words before he left.

Many people sat there, lost in thought.

Such incidents often prompt people to reflect.

What exactly happened to lead to such a shady deal?

"Attorney Jiang."

Chen Qiaowei turned her gaze to Jiang Chen, her expression somewhat complicated.

"You mean... is things really as I imagine?"

Jiang Chen did not answer directly. After thinking for a moment, he slowly spoke.

"Well..."

"We just need to believe what we see; there's no need to dig too deep into some things."

"After all... no amount of humanity can withstand scrutiny in the end."

Although Jiang Chen looked young, his words sounded like those of a seasoned veteran.

Chen Qiaowei nodded and did not continue speaking.

She also fell into deep thought.

"The case is closed, let's go."

Jiang Chen had already packed his things and was preparing to walk out of the courthouse.

Chen Qiaowei belatedly realized what was happening and nodded with a bewildered look on her face.

"Uh... okay!"

She then followed.

Zhou Zhenhai also paid a hefty amount of legal fees for this case.

After all... the nursing fees he had prepaid were returned by the court immediately.

Gao Jianming's personal property was confiscated, which is the source of that nursing fee.

That evening, Jiang Chen started a live stream to review the lawsuit.

The live stream had just started when tens of thousands of viewers flooded into the live stream room.

The live stream's popularity instantly reached 5+.

Netizens left comments in the comment section, and the vast majority of their comments were about this case.

[Attorney Jiang, Attorney Jiang, I want to know, is the truth behind this case really as dark as it seems?]

Yes, the families of those victims were unwilling to appear in court. Was it because they conspired with the nursing home to kill the elderly?

That's my feeling. They won't appear in court to identify the suspects because they're afraid Gao Jianming will expose them too!

[That's very possible!]

If that's really the case, then it's incredibly dark!

[Tsk tsk tsk! This is absolutely disgusting!]

[They're all their own parents, how could they collude with a nursing home to murder them? That's just too much!]

The comments section was filled with heated arguments.

A large part of it stemmed from feeling sorry for the elderly people who had died.

after all……

If this is the truth, then the killer in their deaths was not a nursing home caregiver.

It's their children!

This is just too ironic.

Those elderly people were taken to the desolate countryside, and their last thought before they died must have been to see their children.

Little did they know that the cause of their deaths was their own child...
